RHEL 3 / 4 : libgsf (RHSA-2007:0011)

Updated libgsf packages that fix a buffer overflow flaw are now
available.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the
Red Hat Security Response Team.

The GNOME Structured File Library is a utility library for reading and
writing structured file formats.

A heap based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way GNOME
Structured File Library processes and certain OLE documents. If an
person opened a specially crafted OLE file, it could cause the client
application to crash or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2006-4514)

Users of GNOME Structured File Library should upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain a backported patch that resolves this issue.
